The Oscar winner, who has previously appeared in films such as «The Godfather Part II», - «Taxi Driver», - «Heat», - «The Irishman», - and «The Godfather», - among many others, plays not one, but two mafia bosses competing in the biographical crime drama «High Knights».

The plot of the crime drama, found on the official Warner Bros website, reads: «the film follows the two most famous organized crime bosses in New York, Frank Costello (De Niro) and Vito Genovese (De Niro), in their struggle for control of the city streets. Once best friends, petty jealousies and a series of betrayals put them on a deadly collision course that will forever change the mafia (and America)».

In it, the actor from «The Godfather» (as Genovese) warns himself: «You are walking a very dangerous path», - to which Costello replies: «and we haven’t walked dangerous paths before?» Costello seems to strive to be a good citizen who helps charity and pays taxes, while Genovese doubts that his old friend has truly become part of the established order. An intense scene, set in a dimly lit restaurant booth, prepares the viewer for an epic showdown between the two mafia bosses, which reaches its climax in tension and violence. «You can’t have both sides», - Genovese tells Costello in the trailer. «You're either in or out».
